Be sure to get there right on 5, or a little earlier if you want one of the waterfront couches or tables!

We made sure to take advantage most days of a few sundowners before heading across to either Rangali Bar or the Quiet Zone Bar for 50% off beers and cocktails from 6-7pm.

The hor d’oeuvres was of variable quality, but were consistent in their routine.

2 baguette rounds topped with something…

Followed by 2 rounds of hot finger food

And rounded off with either 2 slices of cake, or a slice of cake and a chocolate.

The cakes reminded me of the frozen sara lee varieties you’d find served up as a kid!

For those more interested in the libations on offer, there was a reasonable sized drinks list in which to whet the whistle

We were also lucky enough to be on the island when the weekly manager’s reception is held. Here we got another hour and a bit of complimentary drinks and snacks at the quiet zone bar where we also met Lyle, the Aussie GM, and mingled with some of the other guests.

As you can see below the snacks were very similar to what was on offer at Vilu
